2020-08-04wic: Populate hostfw partitionAdriana Kobylak1-1/+1
Populate the hostfw partition by specifying the directory to be used as source for the filesystem. This directory is populated by a bbappend to the hostfw recipe. (From meta-aspeed rev: 37f30af4e377a6bc2d3c47ca435798969321f566) Change-Id: Id64e0ac6a5082be2b3ad689a6b323da8eb094e69 Signed-off-by: Adriana Kobylak <anoo@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Geissler <geissonator@yahoo.com>
2020-07-17u-boot-aspeed: Generate default env for eMMCAdriana Kobylak1-1/+1
Generate a default environment to boot an eMMC based on a txt file. Populate the generated environment image into the eMMC.

2020-07-15aspeed: Build a wic image for the eMMC User Data AreaAdriana Kobylak1-0/+30
The U-Boot SPL and U-Boot proper would be programmed to the Boot Area Hardware Partitions of the eMMC. The kernel and user space would go into the User Data Area. This commit creates an image that can be programmed into that User Data Area. Layout: --- - ----- -------- -------- ----- ------- ------ -------- ------- |GPT| | env | boot-a | boot-b | fs-a | fs-b | rwfs | hostfw |GPT-sec| --- - ----- -------- -------- ------ ------ ------ -------- ------- ^ 1MB 64MB 64MB 1GB 1GB 7GB 5GB | 0x5000 Primary GPT size (Beginning of image): 512B (Protective MBR) + 512B (Primary Header) + 16KB (Primary Table) First partition (u-boot-env) is 4K-aligned, which puts it at offset 0x5000 Secondary GPT size (End of image): 16KB (Secondary Table) + 512B (Secondary Header) Since the secondary GPT is expected to be at the end of the device, the initramfs can issue a "sgdisk -e /dev/mmcblk0" on first boot to move it to the end. The first partition holds the U-Boot environment. The following two partitions hold a filesystem with the fitImage file. Code update would reflash the full filesystem with the fitImage during an update. U-Boot can then be programmed to look for the kernel in partitions boot-a or boot-b. The remaining is a set of ext4 filesystems for user space, read-write, and host firmware. The size for the host firmware partition is configurable to be able to build an image of different size. The reason is that the tacoma system is has a User Data area just 1GB smaller than rainier.
